Beads of sweat the size of soybeans seeped out from Rongwei's forehead, and his handsome face was extremely pale at the moment.
He lowered his head, and at a distance of ten centimeters from the back of his head, there was a black muzzle, pointing directly at his head.
But compared to the gunshot behind his head, Rongwei had more troubles.
He stared silently at the deck of cards in front of him.
Both cards have white three points and three long cards!
It was precisely because he got this deck of cards soon that Rongwei placed such a big bet.
In Pai Gow, the long three tiles are already very big.
But in the end he lost.
A handful of cards, and he lost five million silver dollars.
Five million silver dollars is nothing to the Rong family, and they can come up with a little fundraising.
But being able to take it out and losing five million silver dollars at the gambling table are two completely different things.
If his father knew that he lost five million silver dollars at the gambling table tonight, he would definitely break his legs.
Rongwei is very sure that this is as certain as the sun rising from the east every day.
And his mother would never intercede for him.
"How about it, Roewe, can you pay?"
A joking voice came from the other side.
The person who spoke was also a young man with the same handsome face, but his face was full of unruliness.
This young man was sitting diagonally across from Roewe, and sitting opposite Roewe, the man who had just played cards with Roewe was a tall, thin, middle-aged man in a long coat with a horse face.
The horse-faced man's hands are placed on the table. Although this man looks ugly, the fingers of his palms are slender and strong. The skin color is fair and delicate, without any calluses. At this time, the middle-aged man is constantly moving. His fingers looked extremely flexible.
In front of the middle-aged man, there is also a deck of cards.
Two white five-point cards.
The plum blossom card just happened to beat Rongwei's long three card.
Rongwei finally raised his head, stared at the young man diagonally opposite and said something angrily.
"You are cheating!"
Rongwei's words were not an expression of anger, but a real certainty that the other party was cheating.
Because although he is a dandy disciple, Rongwei himself admits this.
But he is not a playboy disciple who is ignorant and skillless. Rongwei has been very smart since he was a child. He is very good at arithmetic and has a very good memory.
Therefore, his father Rong Duanfu had high expectations for him since he was a child. As for how he grew up to be a playboy later, that is another matter.
And precisely because Roewei has a good memory, he can remember all the cards that were played just now. According to his memory, among the remaining cards, it is impossible for a combination like the club card to appear again.
Therefore, the pair of club cards on the opposite side is naturally a cheat.
Unfortunately he has no evidence.
Because of the rules of Pai Gow, all cards that have been played will be immediately turned over and taken away, and the cards cannot be rechecked afterwards. Otherwise, all the cards that have been played will be placed on the open side, so everyone can see and count them. , there is no need to block it.
The unruly young man diagonally opposite laughed proudly.
"Rongwei, if you can't afford to gamble, don't bite like a mad dog here."
"Okay, hurry up and pay. Aren't you usually very arrogant? Although I haven't been in Shencheng for a long time, I have heard a lot about you. Don't you like to claim that you can't do anything without money in Shencheng? Is it a big deal, what? Do you even have to pay for your gambling debt now?"
The anger in Rongwei's eyes became even stronger.
The young man diagonally across from him was the first time he had seen him today, but he had heard of his reputation. Lu Xiaoxiang was the son of Lu Zijia, the governor of Yuezhou. Not long after he came to Shanghai, he openly declared that he wanted to be the first son of Shanghai. Arrogant boy.
When Rongwei heard these rumors, he once joked with his friends that if he had the opportunity, he would teach this country boy how to behave and let him know what the strength of Shencheng's young master circle is.
Because in terms of family background, Rong Wei is not afraid of Lu Xiaoxiang at all. Lu Xiaoxiang is the son of the governor, but his Rong family is also a first-rate Dahua plutocrat.
There are many governors in the world, but there are no people in Dahua who are richer than their Rong family.
Moreover, Lu Zijia, the governor of Yuezhou, is only between the second and third rate among the governors of various continents regardless of his power and strength.
What's more, in today's world, you are still a military governor today, but you may be a prisoner tomorrow.
That's why Rongwei made the joke about teaching Lu Xiaoxiang how to behave.
Unexpectedly, today I would be humiliated in public by the other party.
At noon today, he and a few friends were drinking in Qin Sulan's study apartment. According to Rongwei's original plan, after drinking, he would sleep in Qin Sulan's study apartment, although Qin Sulan had not agreed to follow up more. He shared the same bed, but it was okay to borrow Qin Sulan's bed to sleep for a while. After all, he spent tens of thousands of silver dollars on Qin Sulan every month.
After waking up and replenishing his energy, he will go home, because his father specifically told him that he must be home for dinner before six o'clock today. There will be an important guest coming to the house today. It is the sister who served him a few months ago. The man named Shu Guan mentioned in his letter.
Rongwei still attaches great importance to this matter, and is eager to meet the future brother-in-law to see what kind of person the future brother-in-law is who the elder sister praised so much in the letter.
The most important thing is that Rongwei felt that he could carefully check the quality of the bundle of flowers with his own eyesight, and help his sister check it.
Just at the noon drinking party, Qin Sulan said something worried.
Lu Xiaoxiang came to her place a few days ago. After listening to a book and drinking for a while, he directly stated that he would stay with her in the future and would not allow her study apartment to receive other guests.
Lu Xiaoxiang said domineeringly that he would only give her three days to think about it. If she didn't agree, he would send guards to guard the door for her.
Listening to Qin Sulan's cry, Rong Wei suddenly became angry.
He hadn't even succeeded yet, and he usually protected the woman in every possible way, but that bumpkin from the country dared to attack the overlord!
Rongwei is going to teach Lu Xiaoxiang how to behave today. Shencheng is not their Yuezhou, and a military governor's son is really nothing.
Then he asked his friends nearby to find out where Lu Xiaoxiang was today.
These friends around him were also well-informed people, and they quickly found out that Lu Xiaoxiang went to No. 181 Foch Road, the largest and most luxurious casino in Shanghai, to gamble this afternoon.
So Rongwei and his group of friends came to kill him.
Since we are in a casino, we naturally have to teach Lu Xiaoxiang how to be a good person at the gambling table.
But at the beginning, Rongwei himself did not end up personally. Normally, his father Rong Duanfu would never let him touch two things, one was gambling and the other was smoking.
Rong Duanfu had warned him sternly that if he dared to touch these two things, his legs would be broken at best, or he would be kicked out of the house directly.
Rongwei can still remember Rong Duanfu's teachings.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoxiang did not end up himself, but a tall and thin middle-aged man next to him.
Judging from the meaning of their chat, this middle-aged man is a gambling expert specially invited by Lu Xiaoxiang to make money for him in the casino.
Rongwei didn't mean to be afraid at all.
Although he doesn't usually gamble, he still knows a lot about what's going on at the gambling table. The so-called gambling masters are most afraid of meeting people with sufficient capital.
What is the most powerful gambling technique in the casino? Just two words: capital.
What Roewe does not lack most is money.
He was going to use money to kill the gambling master Lu Xiaoxiang invited.
As for the people on the gambling table, it was the most adept at gambling among his gangster friends. Of course, the gambling was all provided by Roewe.
But he didn't expect that after a few hours of gambling, he lost nearly one million silver dollars.
That tall and thin middle-aged man was a man whose gambling skills were beyond imagination. He almost never made mistakes. After Roewe spent nearly one million silver dollars, there was no chance for him to make a mistake.
And one million silver dollars is not a small amount for Roewe.
Although he has money, the money ultimately belongs to his family and belongs to his father Rong Duanfu.
Without a legitimate reason, it would be very troublesome for him to use one million silver dollars. I'm afraid he would have to ask his cousins to borrow some money to make up for the shortfall afterwards.
Just looking at Lu Xiaoxiang's proud and arrogant look opposite him, Rong Wei was furious. If he just stopped like this, then he would be like a fool who came here to give Lu Xiaoxiang money.
He didn’t teach Lu Xiaoxiang how to be a good person, but Lu Xiaoxiang taught himself how to be a good person.
And this matter will probably spread throughout the entire Shanghai young master circle in less than two days, and then he, Rongwei, will be really disgraced and become everyone's joke.
So Rongwei, filled with anger, finally decided to take the gamble himself.
Although he rarely gambles, he still knows how to play cards, and with his super memory, he can be regarded as a gambling expert to some extent. He has played a few games before and has never lost.
Rongwei sat down on the gaming table confidently.
He seemed to be lucky. He drew a long three card in the first hand. After a quick calculation, he found that among the remaining cards, there was no possibility of a card bigger than the long three card. So Roewe directly made a big bet.
Not only did he want to win back the money he lost, but he also wanted Lu Xiaoxiang to bleed a lot.
This is called teaching the other person how to behave.
But the opponent opened the club card.
This is obviously a trick.
However, according to casino rules, if one party disagrees, reverse card checking is not allowed.
When Rongwei angrily accused the other party of cheating and would never pay the money, Lu Xiaoxiang directly ordered someone to hold him at gunpoint.
"Repaying debts is a matter of course. I know that your Rong family is very powerful in Shanghai, but no matter where you talk about this matter, I, Lu Xiaoxiang, will be responsible for it. If you don't pay the money today, you will never get out of this house. door."
At this time, Lu Xiaoxiang said so coldly.
There was fire in Rongwei's eyes, but in the face of the gun, his anger was in vain.
He didn't believe that Lu Xiaoxiang would really let someone shoot him, but if he was beaten, he, Rongwei, couldn't afford to lose face.
"I can't afford that much money right now."
In the end, Rongwei could only grit his teeth and say helplessly.
"It doesn't matter, just write an IOU. I believe that a respectable family like yours, the Rong family, will never default on your debt."
Lu Zixiang laughed and asked the person next to him to write an IOU and put it in front of Rongwei.
When the IOU with the amount of ten million silver dollars written on it was placed in front of him, and it had to be paid off within three days, Rongwei almost lost his mind in anger again.
"Why is it ten million silver dollars? Isn't it only about six million?"
Rongwei asked through gritted teeth.
"Since it's a loan, doesn't it require interest?"
"I calculated this based on the interest rate of the casino here. It's not even half a penny more."
Lu Xiaoxiang said with a smile.
"I will never sign it!"
Rongwei yelled.
Lu Xiaoxiang waved his hand, and the muzzle of the gun behind Rongwei directly hit his head.
"Either you sign it, or I have my men strip you of your clothes, take some naughty photos of you, Master Rong, and send them to major newspapers. I think tomorrow the whole city of Shanghai will be able to enjoy these photos of you, Master Rong. "
Lu Xiaoxiang said unhurriedly:
"As for whether the ten million silver dollars are more important or the face of your Rong family is more important, it depends on what you think."
Rongwei's face suddenly turned from white to green, indicating that he was extremely angry.
But in the end he hung his head like a defeated rooster.
Because he knew that if the photos of him being stripped were really published in the major newspapers and magazines in Shanghai, let alone Rongwei, he would never want to stay in Shanghai in the future, and the entire Rong family would be disgraced.
He was even more afraid of making his parents sick.
Rongwei was heartbroken at this moment and stretched out his palm to the ink pad, preparing to press his fingerprint on the IOU.
The bright red ink pad was as dazzling as blood in his eyes at the moment.
However, at this moment, the door of the box was pushed open.
A young man wearing a suit, with meticulously combed hair and bright hair wax, and a rather pleasing appearance walked in from outside.
"Who let you in! Didn't I say that no one can enter this box?"
Lu Xiaoxiang shouted angrily.
Beside him, a guard immediately pointed his gun at the young man who suddenly walked in.
The young man glanced at the gun pointed at him calmly, then glanced around the box, and then said calmly to Lu Xiaoxiang:
"I'm from the Rong family, and I came here specifically to solve today's matter."
Lu Xiaoxiang looked at the young man and said with a smile:
"You'd better bring enough money. Only money can solve today's matter."
As for Rongwei, he was looking at the young man in astonishment at this moment.
People from the Rong family?
Why didn't I know there was such a person in my family?
The young man had already walked in front of him.
"Who are you?"
Rongwei asked blankly.
"My surname is Shu, your sister's friend."
The young man said with a smile.
Rongwei groaned and seemed to want to get up, but the gun was still pressed against the back of his head.
Shu Guan turned his head and asked Lu Xiaoxiang.
"Can you ask your men to put away their guns first?"
Lu Xiaoxiang waved his hand noncommittally, and the guard standing behind Rongwei put the pistol back into his gun bag.
Rongwei immediately stood up from the chair, his expression was in disbelief, because he really did not expect why this person who should be a guest in his home at this time would appear here.
How could his father agree to let him come?
"elder sister……"
Rongwei looked at Shu Guan in confusion, and his lips moved a few times. It was just the first time they met, and after all, he couldn't pronounce the word "brother-in-law."
Shu Guan glanced down at the IOU on the table and frowned.
Ten million is enough to buy an Earthly Immortal magic weapon.
"Have you lost so much?"
"No!"
Rongwei immediately shouted aggrievedly:
"They forced me to sign it. In fact, I lost more than six million, and they even cheated me."
That’s it?
Shu Guan glanced at Rong Wei lightly.
At this time, you still have to argue that you have lost more than you lost, but you don't realize where you are wrong at all. You are really a playboy with an immature mind!
Shu looked at the face that was more or less similar to Rong Miao, and thought about how well-behaved and obedient his brother was described by Rong Miao to him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
But in the eyes of Sister Tianxia, her brothers may be very good and obedient.
Then Shu Guan sat down in Rongwei's seat, smiled diagonally at the young man with an unruly and cold face and said:
"How about we take another gamble?"
"What?"
Rongwei next to him exclaimed in surprise, looking at Shu Guan anxiously, but for a moment he didn't know how to stop it.
Shu Guan ignored him and just looked at Lu Xiaoxiang with a smile.
Lu Xiaoxiang was slightly startled, then laughed sarcastically:
"Why should I bet with you? I won 10 million tonight. I think it's almost enough."
“No one thinks it’s too much money.”
Shu Guan's smile became more sincere.
"I can bet another ten million with you, just for one round."
"You know, 20 million is nothing to the Rong family."
"How about it, do you want to bet or not?"
Lu Xiaoxiang's eyes narrowed, and a glimmer of greed flashed in his eyes.
This man is right.
No one qualms about having too much money, especially money that comes to your doorstep.
He glanced at the tall, thin, middle-aged man next to him.
The tall, thin, middle-aged man smiled proudly and nodded towards him.
So Lu Xiaoxiang burst out laughing.
"Okay, let's take another gamble, but we have to make it clear in advance that no one can default on Lu Xiaoxiang's account."
"Come here, change the cards."
Then he shouted this.
"No need, just use this deck of cards!"
Shu Guan casually pointed at the remaining cards on the table.
Lu Xiaoxiang and the tall, thin middle-aged man suddenly showed expressions of disbelief.
Just use this deck of cards?
You must know that most of this deck of cards has been played out, and they can already deduce the faces of the remaining cards. Doesn't using this deck of cards mean giving them money openly?
Is this person stupid?
At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, and doubts arose in their hearts.
Rongwei also felt that his future brother-in-law might be a bit stupid.
"You can't use this deck of cards anymore, this deck of cards..."
He shouted again anxiously.
"On the gambling table, you never regret what you say!"
Lu Xiaoxiang directly interrupted Rongwei's words.
If someone wants to send money stupidly, he will not refuse.
The guards around him immediately put their hands on the guns at their waists, staring at Shuguan and Rongwei eagerly.
"Master An, why don't you come in and deal the cards!"
Shu Guan shouted towards the door.
An Fengjun's fat body appeared at the door, smiling and bowing to both sides.
"Is it okay to let the boss here deal the cards?"
Shu Guan asked Lu Xiaoxiang with a smile.
"casual."
Lu Xiaoxiang said noncommittally.
Then An Fengjun came to the gambling table, shuffled the remaining cards on the table skillfully, and then dealt two cards to Shu Guan and the thin middle-aged man.
There were only two people playing, so naturally they played Pai Gow. Roewe and the thin middle-aged man also played Pai Gow just now.
The two cards are compared with each other regardless of player or dealer.
After the cards were dealt, the thin middle-aged man raised his hand and was about to take a look at his cards.
"etc."
At this time, Shu Guan shouted like this.
The thin middle-aged man looked up at him, somewhat confused.
Shu Guan smiled at him and said:
"One thousand yuan is not a small amount. Since we are going to bet, let's bet in a more disciplined manner."
As he spoke, he took off his suit and handed it to Rongwei beside him naturally.
Rongwei blankly took the suit from Shu Guan.
Shu Guan unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his palms, and shook his palms towards the tall, thin middle-aged man.
This means that he has nothing hidden in his hands.
The face of the tall, thin middle-aged man seemed to change slightly, but he immediately sneered, then rolled up the cuffs of his gown, stretched out his palms and shook them more.
Shuguan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to him, indicating that he could read the cards.
So the middle-aged tall and thin man reached out and lifted the dominoes in front of him and took a look at him.
He lifted the cards with one hand and held the palm of the other hand in front of him to read.
As if he was afraid of others seeing his cards.
But at the moment when he lifted the card, a domino suddenly fell silently from the empty palm of the hand that was covering the card.
At the same time, the little finger of the other hand flicked with lightning dexterity, and one of the two cards on the table jumped up slightly, followed his wrist, followed his skin, and penetrated into his In the rolled up sleeves of the gown.
All actions are completed in the blink of an eye.
Even Lu Xiaoxiang, who was sitting next to him, didn't see clearly his action of changing cards just now.
Then he raised the hand covering the cards, covered the two dominoes on the table again, and winked at Lu Xiaoxiang with a calm expression.
This is the most basic quality of a gambling master. No matter whether the cards are good or bad, before the cards are played, people must not let people see the clues in your expression.
But Lu Xiaoxiang had already understood the look in the tall, thin middle-aged man's eyes just now, and laughed loudly and said:
"How about it, are you going to open the cards?"
"Then let's open the cards."
Shu Guan said lightly.
But his words made everyone startled.
Because when the tall, thin middle-aged man was looking at the cards just now, Shu Guan just looked at him indifferently, not looking at his own cards at all, and he didn't even touch his own cards.
"You haven't read the cards yet!"
Shu Guan's nonchalant demeanor gave the tall, thin middle-aged man a sense of inscrutability. He frowned and said this.
"No need to look, winning or losing is already determined after the cards are dealt, isn't it?"
Shu Guan asked the tall, thin middle-aged man with a chuckle.
"And it's just a gamble, let's play the cards."
The tall, thin, middle-aged man took a deep look at Shu Guan, and then turned over the two dominoes in front of him.
A pair of red and one white five points.
Drum hammer brand.
The drum hammer tile is not a big one in Pai Gow.
But the moment the tall, thin middle-aged man played the drum hammer card, Rongwei beside Shu Guan immediately turned pale.
Because he remembered clearly that among the remaining dominoes, the bone hammer tile was the largest that could be combined.
This time, they lost.
Rongwei didn't know if the other party was cheating this time, but even if they were, they had no evidence.
At this moment, the future brother-in-law, who in his mind, Rongwei, had already considered him to be an idiot and a fool. After he returned, he planned to persuade his elder sister to break up with him no matter what, as long as he was not kicked out of the house. However, he turned to face him. He said:
"You do the cards."
Rongwei smiled miserably.
If I drive, I will drive.
Unexpectedly, the man chosen by my sister was not only stupid, but also completely irresponsible.
Forget it, he is not from the Rong family after all. If he loses this time, he will naturally have to bear the debts of the Rong family.
Rongwei stretched out his hand numbly, stretched it out in front of Shu Guan, and turned over the first domino.
It was a Ding San with red one and two white.
A miscellaneous card.
But when he turned over this card, Rongwei's heart skipped a beat.
Because he remembered clearly that this card had already been played.
How is this going?
Rongwei's heartbeat became violent, and then he turned over another card with trembling palms and gritted his teeth.
Red two white four.
Big head six.
Also a miscellaneous card.
But the problem is that this is Ding San matched with Da Tou Liu, this is the supreme card!
Rongwei was suddenly stunned for two or three seconds, then suddenly turned his head, looked at his future brother-in-law in astonishment, and blurted out:
"You are old..."
But Rongwei was not a fool after all. The last word "thousand" was swallowed back into his stomach.
But the tall, thin, middle-aged man opposite him had already started clapping the case at the same time, pointed angrily at Shu Guan and shouted:
"You are cheating!"
He did not see how this young man could cheat in front of him.
But he was absolutely certain of this.
Because the last big six will never appear!
That big six, the card he just replaced, is in his sleeve now!
The tall, thin middle-aged man's chest heaved violently.
Shu Guan laughed.
He spread his hands and said:
"I'm cheating? You all saw it, I didn't even touch the cards."
"If you don't believe it, how about we check the cards?"
A little blast today.
